Parker originally posted photos of his daughter, including a "mug shot" of the toddler in a baggy orange t-shirt, with a message explaining why she was on lockdown:

"My daughter Aubrey'Ella has been fighting with my wife and I, disrespecting us in public, not listening and talking back a lot. Spankings don't work no more. My daughter is used to spankings, and nowadays, you can't spank kids how they did back in the day [because] they call that abuse."

Parker's mock jail environment included a thin mattress on the floor and cleaning duty for Aubrey'Ella, and a dinner of meat and potatoes while "watching her siblings eat pizza and juice," according to SheKnows.

The original post went viral, stirring up quite a reaction—responses ranged from outrage ("I could only imagine what they do to the poor little thing behind closed doors and away from social media") to kudos ("What else can you do with kids nowadays?")—and eventually made its way in front of CPS.

After a visit from CPS agents, Parker took the photos down and issued an apology:

"I really regret posting that pic of my daughter on social media like that. I admit it was wrong didn't think it was gonna go viral. Smh, God knows my heart. My daughter is a good girl, just been acting out lately, and I was just trying to show her with bad behavior comes consequence. Now my daughter all over the Internet for being bad kid, but in reality, she just acting out for attention."

Parker is not alone in his use of public shaming as a parental device: Earlier this year, a Denver mom's video calling out her 13-year-old daughter for her secret Facebook profile received more than 11 million views.

Other parents, like this dad, say social media should never be used to punish a misbehaving child: "Humiliation can cause suicide and depression."
